Valley Yarns 1249 Katpana PDF

Valley Yarns Katpana is a fabulous cowl knit using Hampden and Southampton. This dual-layer accessory features a simple lace knit with Southampton, and Hampden is the backing to highlight the lacey panel. Katpanav is knit in the round seamlessly from the bottom up. Light and airy, Valley Yarns Southampton is a plush and super-soft blend of mohair and silk with a fabulous halo, and Hampden’s stunningly soft blend of baby alpaca, Merino wool, and silk is a marriage of the two most stunning yarns. The lace pattern is charted and written out.
